Susan Fouquier will become the new Chief Executive Officer of Skipton International later this year, following the retirement of current CEO Jim Coupe at the end of June.
Jonathan Dell; Skipton International’s Chief Financial Officer, will act as interim CEO in the timeframe between Mr Coupe leaving and Ms Fouquier starting.
Ms Fouquier will also be joining Skipton Group’s Executive Committee, which includes the CEOs of Skipton Building Society and Connell’s Estate Agency in the UK.
She is currently serving as the Managing Director of Institutional Banking and Head of Guernsey for Royal Bank of Scotland International at NatWest, where she’s been since 2000. Her previous roles have also included experience in institutional banking across the Channel Islands, Gibraltar, and the Isle of Man.
Skipton International says her appointment as CEO represents an “opportunity to deliver long-term growth potential” for the company.
Ms Fouquier commented: “I am absolutely delighted to have been appointed Chief Executive Officer of Skipton International. I recognise the strong history in delivering high quality products and services to customers and I believe strongly in the purpose and direction of the organisation.”
She continued: “I can’t wait to work closely with the many talented colleagues that are already part of the team.”
Eric Barnett, Skipton International Chair, added: “We’re extremely pleased that Susan has decided to join us here at Skipton International. She brings with her a wealth of knowledge of the Channel Island banking industry alongside a key passion for colleague engagement, diversity and inclusion.
“She has a track record for linking purpose and strategy for people and supporting them in bringing this to life for customers. I’m looking forward to working with her on what Skipton International’s next chapter looks like.”
